Summary of Hazards GHS Classification Damage to health Acute (oral) toxicity Class 2 Skin corrosiveness and irritation Class 3 Critical injury to eyes and eye irritation Class 1 SSpecific ifi marker k organ and d systemic i toxicity (repeated exposure) Class 2 (Skin and respiratory organs) GHS Label Elements Picture descriptions: Cautionary terms: Danger Hazard information: Poisonous if ingested Mild skin irritation Critical eye injury Risk of organ (skin and respiratory organ) damage due to long-term or repeated exposure. Cautions Safety Measures: When using the product, do not eat, drink, or smoke. Wear protective gloves, goggles, and face mask. Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not inhale the dust. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Emergency Measures: If the substance contacts the eye, irrigate with water thoroughly for several minutes. If contact lenses can be removed easily, remove and wash them.

If ingested, rinse out the mouth, and immediately consult a physician for treatment. If you feel unwell, consult a physician to receive diagnosis and treatment. Storage: Lock the storage location. Disposal: If discarding contents or containers, entrust to a specialized waste disposal company. Other hazards: Not available 3. Composition and Component Information Single Substance or Mixture: Single Substance Chemical name or general name: Potassium silver cyanide (I) Another name: - Concentration or concentration range: 100% Ver. GHS-09 SDS-03 Potassium Silver Cyanide (2/5) Molecular formula (molecular weight): K[Ag(CN)2] (199.01) Chemical characteristics + - (rational or structural formula): K [NC- Ag-CN] CAS No.: 506-61-6 Reference numbers in gazetted list in japan(CSCL and ISHL): 1-1088 Impurities and stabilization additivesadditives t thathat contr contributeibute to the classification: No information 4. Emergency Measures If inhaled: If you feel unwell, consult a physician to receive diagnosis and treatment. Adhesion to skin: If skin irritation occurs, consult a physician and receive treatment. Contact with eyes: If the substance contacts the eye, irrigate with water thoroughly for several minutes. If eyeeye irritation ppersistsersists, consult a pphysicianhysician and receive treatmenttreatment.. If ingested: Rinse mouth. If you feel unwell, consult a physician to receive diagnosis and treatment. The most important sign of an acute symptom and the tardive symptom and Eye pain, major burns, burning sensation, headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of symptom: consciousness, respiration paralysis, convulsions, diarrhea, vomition, stopped respiration Protection of people implementing emergency measures: Rescuers should wear suitable protective equipment according to the circumstances. Special precautions for physicians: No information 5. Measures during Fires Extinguishants: Water spray, powder, and dry sand Extinguishants that must not be used: Carbon dioxide(The hydrogen cyanide gas of the deadly poison might be generated.) Characteristic dangers: Strong heat causes highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas to be emitted. When highly-concentrated acids contact it and mix it, hydrocyanic acid (gas) of the deadly ppoisonoison combustibilitcombustibilityy occurs.occurs. Air-fuel mixture with the explosive air occurs in the sealing up space. Inflammation might be caused to skin and eyes by contact. Characteristic extinguishing methods: Promptly move containers in the vicinity of the fire to a safe location. If moving is not possible, scatter water on the containers and their surroundings to cool. If ignition occurs, douse the fire using copious amounts of water. Protection of firefighters: Under fierce heat, highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas is emitted, so fight fires from upwind, and wear protectivepqp equipment such as a rebreather or respirator. p Keep upwind all personnel unnecessary to disaster prevention activities. 6. Measures during Leaks Physical precautions, protective The worker wears a tool for appropriate protection (in item of "8. Exposure Avoidance and equipment, and measures during Protection Measures" reference) and avoids clothes, contact and inhalation to skin. emergencies: Touch the leak thing and do not walk the inside. Cordon off the periphery of the dispersal area to prohibit the entrance of personnel. Prohibit the entrance exceptexcept the ppersonerson concerned.concerned. Environmental precautions: Avoid discharging into the environment. Methods and materials for contamination and methods and materials for cleaning up: No information Collection and neutralization: The leak thing that sweeps it on an airtight container, and was collected is disposed later. Preventing secondary accidents: Prevent inflow to drainage ditches, sewers, cellars, or sealed locations. 7. Handling and Storage Precautions Handling Technical measures: Install local exhausters, and eye and hand washing facilities, in the handling locations. Ideally, handle in locations with local exhausters and overall ventilators. Wear protective gloves, goggles, and face mask. Ver. GHS-09 SDS-03 Potassium Silver Cyanide (3/5) Precautions for safe handling: Prohibit the use of high-temperature devices, sparks, and naked flames in the vicinity. When using the product, do not eat, drink, or smoke. Do not touch, inhale, or drink. Prevent contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not inhale dust, fumes, or mist.
